Robert Guerrero vs. Andre Berto - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Mars_ax]

Good scrap tonight on HBO. Guerrero who's one of my favorite fighters might have bit off more then he can chew at Welterweight against the hard hitting Berto.

Nov. 24
At Ontario, Calif. (HBO): Robert Guerrero vs. Andre Berto, 12 rounds, for Guerrero's WBC interim welterweight title; Carlos Quintana vs. Keith Thurman, 10 rounds, junior middleweights.

I really hope Guerrero can pull this off, but I have my doubts, in any event, there should be some fireworks in this title fight.

I used to really like Guerrero. Then came that ridiculous period he went through calling everybody out, all the time, especially after pulling out of a fight with Maidana and not showing ANY interest what so ever of rearranging the fight. His PR guy made this situation worse for me, somehow getting my boxing related email, and always sending articles based on Guerrero calling someone out.

Would have brought a little smile to my face seeing him beat by Aydin, but he really sucked it up and got through that fight with the W. His win over Aydin has restored a good portion of my interest and I'll defo be watching this weekend. He should just let his boxing do the talking, as really got annoying back there. I think he can beat Berto, who mustn't have great stamina as he spends alot of time holding rather than fighting. Downside for Guerrero is that he does get hit, and I reckon Berto has fast hands and hits pretty hard. Can see Guerrero Pts and a Berto KO. Either way, should be a good fight.

This is a fight I've been waiting on for awhile. I like both fighters, but somebody gotta lose. Guerrero was fading his last fight but showed great heart and won. Its no quit in Berto. The power of Ortiz didn't stop him, so I don't think Guerrero can stop him. Outboxing someone with very fast hands is hard to do. So at some point in the fight, Guerrero is going to get caught. Hopefully is early!!!

The fact that both fighters know that a win can make them very wealthy in there next fight. And the loser will have to start from ground zero. ESPECIALLY BERTO!!!!

I agree Mac, Guerrero "should just let his boxing do the talking", calling people out can backfire, just walk the walk in the ring. I'm a little surprised Guerrero took this tough fight so soon after moving up to WW, but maybe he knows WTF he's doing, I sure hope so.

You all should check out the Maxboxing article on PED usage and Guerrero being forced to take this fight with USADA doing the testing, as opposed to VADA.

Why is that Rantcat, isn't it because Berto tested positive for PEDs before his rematch with Ortiz?

If you read my OP, it's pretty obvious i'm pulling for Guerrero, I like Berto well enough though, he's an entertaining fighter, but "the Ghost" is my boy.
